Shortly after I finished my Arkham Asylum and Arkham City Harley statues, the amazing SKB Studios revealed his latest: Peter Dinklage as Tyrion Lannister from Game of Thrones. As usual, SKB’s sculpt is spot-on! His Tyrion was a thing of beauty. Normally, I’d be happy to admire such things from afar, as I don’t delve into “realistic” pieces too often. But then I was struck with a great idea. Tyrion would make a great anniversary present for the Violist! And thus it would be.

After assembly, I had only to apply paint. I had fun doing so, as this project allowed me the opportunity to play with layers and lots of dry-brushing, creating effects I don’t normally get to use with animated pieces. Everything you see (except for the base) features multiple colors layered to create depth and texture.
